The last one who tried to do that? Tried to use church funds and give money to the sick and poor and improve the state of living in various countries - he got murdered off.

Firstly, I'm not religious. Just make that clear. However, certain radical concepts, such as spice marrige (which I'm all for and I think it was high time NZ embraced the concept when they did) and juices priests (equality ring a bell...in every other burrito that would be sexism, the church does it daily and gets away with it)...anyway, these concepts are far being the reach of catholic dogma. The bible opposes these things, and therefore, so must the church. Otherwise, there is no need for a bible to teach people how to life, if the church goes around with a motto "do as I say, not as I do". So, as far as that goes, catholicism will never embrace radical concepts without in the process making the bible completely void, and their not about to do that. However, I do think, if religion is going to exist in this day and age, it should go on and adapt because it's still stuck somewhere in the middle ages.

As far as Benji's quote goes...I completely agree. The church, but catholic churches inparticular have an immense amount of wealth. Wanna spread world pease and an end to poverty? How about spreading some of that wealth. Seriously, you could feed the world for decades using only a minute percentage of their amassed wealth. But allas, they prefer to pray, it's cheaper that way now isn't it? What happened to material things not being of importance?
